Welcome to SmurglesArt

Thank you so much for stopping by! My name is Linda and I've loved being creative my whole life. Over the years my creativity has taken many forms: music, writing, textile arts, woodworking, drawing, and painting. Thankfully my creative bent has played a huge role not only in my expressing myself, but in my journey of healing. I have fibromyalgia and post traumatic stress injury (PTSD). On top of those I am also the primary caregiver for our son who is on the autism spectrum. Sometimes things get so hectic it's easy to start losing myself in daily circumstances. Fortunately I have found that a vital part of my self-care includes being creative.

During my times of creativity, whether it be a few moments or a few hours at a time, I am able to release my frustrations and pain, as well as reflect on the joys of small daily victories. Making something beautiful in the midst of pain and heartache has been key in my healing journey, along with my faith in God. Being able to express myself in the midst of trials and adversity has allowed me to survive PTSD and actually be able to feel my emotions again. As you may have guessed, art is a very important part of my life and I am honored to be able to share it with you.

I hope you find something that will make you smile and begin to see the small blessings that surround us each and every day.
